Industrial Engineering - Master

NB! Minor changes to the study plan may occur due to ongoing work with the study portfolio at UiT. A Master of Science degree in Industrial Engineering will provide students with the knowledge and capabilities to use appropriate techniques, skills, and tools to identify, formulate, analyze, and solve complex problems in both engineering and management. With normal progress, a student will be able to obtain a master degree after two years, corresponding to 120 credits. If the student wants to combine the master study with work in an external company, it is possible to extend the program to three or four years. A customized education plan will then be suggested. After finishing this education, students will have a solid foundation to enter a variety of positions at global base. The typical positions are senior engineer, project managers, developers, consultants, managers and researchers. Many of our former students are holding managerial or senior research positions in public organizations or private companies. What sets our program apart is its unwavering commitment to sustainability, resilience, and human-centered systems and technologies. As a student, you'll have exclusive access to state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment, including Robots, Cobots, Autonomous vehicles, Hybrid and metal printers, Virtual and augmented reality systems, and much more. Historically, our M.Sc program has attracted a diverse and dynamic cohort of students from around the globe. They have excelled in both management and advanced technical engineering roles, making them highly sought-after in the job market. Join us on this transformative journey, where innovation and excellence meet to shape the future of industrial engineering. Apply now to become a part of our vibrant community of aspiring leaders!"
